Haliburton Rocks!
The Haliburton Highlands really does "rock" in so many ways. Explore the rich minerals deposits, unique geological features, and rugged landscapes of the area while enjoying the great hospitality and fine folk of the Highlands. Your two night/three day itinerary includes a hike to world class undisturbed sites of unique minerals and crystals, a search for the Harburn Wells, shopping for gems, mineral collecting, and a visit to the studio of a rock artist. You will stay at the beautiful Sunny Rock B&B, "rock" to the tunes of a local musician and enjoy an optional hot stone massage to ease a day of outdoor exploration. This package is also available without accommodation. A Saturday only option is also available. See http://www.yoursoutdoors.ca/packageinfo.php?id=1 for rates and more information
